Why run for St Cuthbert's Hospice? It all started with the local community...
Over three decades ago, a group of Durham residents came together for a common cause. They saw the absence of care and support available for those coming to the end of their lives and decided to take action. Thanks to their many years of fundraising and dedication, St Cuthbert's Hospice first opened its doors in 1988 to provide services, free of charge, for those living with life-limiting illnesses, people approaching the end of their lives and families who are bereaved.
To us, it is absolute proof that angels do walk amongst us. Again thanks to you all. We will never forget your kindness.
Everyone who comes to us is an individual and so their care should be individual too. Our multi-professional team consists of specially trained doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers and counsellors. They all work collaboratively to make sure all patients can discuss their needs and wishes when spending time with us. Find out more about our care or have a look around the Hospice: https://www.stcuthbertshospice.com/.
To all the wonderful staff, thank you for being so caring. Thank you for being there. Thank you for looking after Dad. You will never know how much we appreciated all that you did. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We receive some government funding towards our care, but rely on donations, legacies, charity shops, charitable trusts and people playing our Lottery or coming to our events to meet the cost of providing our exceptional care and support. We must raise over £2 million each year.
